The Lost Abbey Agave Maria Ale
Vital Statistics
From the brewer
Using a blend of Anejo and Reposado barrels and aged for a minimum of ten months, Agave Maria has hints of black pepper, sweet sugar, oatmeal, and oak with an earthy, bitter smoked chocolate on the finish. The base beer, a new Agave strong ale, was created specifically to pair with the spiciness of the Tequila, adding a sweet honey-like quality to the beer.

Frankly, this smelled bizarre - vegetal and smoky like an autumn leaf fire after a rainy day. That carries over to the taste, but there is also an unexpected overt sourness to the beer that brings balance in addition to emphasizing its overall weirdness. Intruiging (in a good way), but a sipping beer for small doses, I think.
